The English Language

I was just thinking about this in the middle of the night while Mateo was throwing one of his random dream tantrums.

You can't really say anything unless you know what the meaning is.  For example, you can't say "I ate bread today" and not know what bread actually is.  You can't really invent the meaning either because most people know what bread is.  So if you say "I ate bread" and your meaning of bread is tomatoes no one will understand when you say "I ate bread" as "I ate tomatoes" because everybody knows bread as bread and not tomatoes, except for you.  Make sense?  Yes, right!!!

So how can people say "I love you" to someone and not really know the true meaning of love.  They're probably really saying "I think you're pretty cool" or "my tummy gets mushy when I see you, but it could be diarrhea."  Do you really KNOW the meaning of love?  Or is it like bread and tomatoes being the same thing.  I think that a lot of people retard the meaning of love just like my bread and tomatoes analogy.  A lot of people don't know Jesus, or how much He loves us and the sacrifices that God made for us.  God IS Love, so if they don't know Him, then how can they say "I love you" to their "loved" ones.

Eh?  Eh???? Think about it.

Even I don't fully understand God's love for me.  It's too much for my tiny little brain.  His love for us is infinitely massive.  I guess I can say that I adore my children and greatly enjoy the company of my husband..........most of the time.
